Cough Remedy 2 - Orange with salt and rock sugar

I remember steaming Orange with rock sugar used to be a remedy for cough when I was growing up. But when I googled it, most said Steaming Orange with Salt (Himalaya).

Method

Presoak Oranges in salt water to ensure that the skins are clean.

Cut bottom and top of oranges, slice the knife across the oranges side and cut up a bit. 

Put 1/2 - 1 teaspoon of salt over the oranges. Cover them and steam them 30-45 minutes. 

Drink this for 3 days and prefer to drink just before sleep.

In this case, I used slow cooker, double-boil method of steaming and I boiled them for more then an hour. The oranges flesh should come off easily. I think the taste is a bit too salty. Adding rock sugar was my idea to balance the taste.
